Urgent Care Centre, a pioneering model of pre-hospital care medical centres in India launched its second centre in Delhi, a month after coming up with its first centre at Vikas Marg. The centre is located in Kalkaji/Nehru Enclave region of the capital and plans to provide critical and immediate attention to all medical urgencies. Urgent Care Centres will be accessible 24×7.
Each Urgent Care Centre is equipped to reach out to the needy in the first 60 minutes after a medical emergency has occurred .“There could be an 8-12 hour waiting in a public hospital, while the visit to an emergency in a private hospital can be very expensive. We are bridging the gap by providing walk in on the spot emergency care at a very reasonable cost,” said Dr Pervez Ahmed Chairman and MD, Aapka Urgicare.
The Urgent Care Centres are well-equipped to cater to the primary healthcare needs of the local communities (treatment for common injuries and conditions like cuts, burns, flu and out patient department clinical services including preventative screening, basic diagnostics and vaccinations) as well as capabilities and experience to treat most episodic healthcare needs, including cardiac arrest, stroke symptoms, breathing problems and most trauma incidents.
The centres also aim to provide high-quality care at the time of medical exigencies that require immediate attention to bring relief to the patients and their families. Some common problems, including chest pains, fractures, accidental injuries, allergies, anxiety, abdominal pain, headaches and infections, can be tackled at urgent care clinics.
